LOS ANGELES, California -- July 28, 2005 --Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY):

  • Revenues of $303.3 million increased 27.0% compared to last year
  • Year-over-year organic revenue growth of 14.4%
  • Earnings per share of $0.47 increased 56.7% compared to last year
  • Raising 2005 earnings per share outlook

Teledyne Technologies today reported second quarter 2005 sales of $303.3 million, compared with sales of $238.9 million for the same period of 2004. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $16.1 million ($0.47 per diluted share), compared with net income of $9.9 million ($0.30 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2004.

"This was an outstanding quarter for Teledyne, as we again achieved record sales and net income. We also generated double-digit organic revenue growth for the fourth consecutive quarter," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "In addition to excellent revenue growth, operating margins for the overall company and our Electronics and Communications segment remained near record levels. Furthermore, given our strong cash flow, net debt decreased slightly during the second quarter, despite the acquisition of Cougar Components on June 30."

Review of Operations

Electronics and Communications

The Electronics and Communications segment's second quarter 2005 sales were $176.5 million, compared with second quarter 2004 sales of $134.6 million. Second quarter 2005 operating profit was $20.8 million, compared with operating profit of $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Second quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in defense electronic products, electronic instruments, electronic manufacturing services, relay products and telecommunication subsystems. The revenue growth in defense electronic products was driven by sales of traveling wave tubes, the acquisition of Reynolds Industries, Incorporated in July 2004 and the acquisition of the defense electronics business of Celeritek, Inc. in October 2004. Electronic instruments revenue was favorably impacted by the acquisition of Isco, Inc. in June 2004, partially offset by reduced sales of geophysical sensors for the energy exploration market. Electronic manufacturing services had increases in government, commercial and medical sales while revenue growth in relay products was driven by increased sales to the aviation and test and measurement equipment markets. The increase in revenue from acquisitions for the second quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, was $30.4 million. Segment operating profit was favorably impacted by acquisitions, organic sales growth and by lower pension expense, partially offset by higher LIFO reserves. Pension expense, in accordance with the pension accounting requirements of SFAS No. 87, was $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the second quarter of 2004.

Systems Engineering Solutions

The Systems Engineering Solutions segment's second quarter 2005 sales were $66.2 million, compared with second quarter 2004 sales of $57.6 million. Second quarter 2005 operating profit was $7.0 million, compared with operating profit of $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Second quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in core defense, environmental and aerospace programs. The lower operating profit in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, was primarily the result of increased subcontract work in our systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) contracts which carry lower profit margins, partially offset by increased sales on other contracts. Segment operating profit included pension expense under SFAS No. 87 of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no pension expense in the second quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the second quarter of 2004.

Aerospace Engines and Components

The Aerospace Engines and Components segment's second quarter 2005 sales were $53.0 million, compared with second quarter 2004 sales of $41.3 million. The second quarter 2005 operating profit was $3.4 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2004.

Second quarter 2005 sales, compared with the same period of 2004, reflected revenue growth in OEM piston engines, partially offset by lower aftermarket sales. Sales from turbine engines were higher due to increased sales of engines for the Improved Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (ITALD), Harpoon and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) programs. Segment operating profit was favorably impacted by higher sales, partially offset by higher warranty expense and higher LIFO reserves. Segment operating profit also included pension expense, under SFAS No. 87 of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2004.

Energy Systems

The Energy Systems segment's second quarter 2005 sales were $7.6 million, compared with second quarter 2004 sales of $5.4 million. Second quarter 2005 operating profit was $0.5 million, compared with $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2004.

The increase in second quarter 2005 sales resulted from the timing of multi-year government contracts which were awarded in 2003 for fuel cell and thermoelectric power generator work and an increase in commercial hydrogen generator sales. Segment operating profit was favorably impacted by higher sales. Segment operating profit also included pension expense, under SFAS No. 87 of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no pension expense for the second quarter of 2004. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the second quarter of 2004.

Additional Financial Information

Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities was $29.7 million for the second quarter 2005, compared with $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. The higher cash provided by operating activities in 2005, compared with 2004, was primarily due to higher net income and reduced working capital requirements, partially offset by higher pension contributions. Free cash flow (cash from operating activities less capital expenditures) was $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared with free cash flow of $15.7 million for the same period of 2004. On June 30, 2005, Teledyne Technologies completed the acquisition of the stock of Cougar Components Corporation for a purchase price of $26.5 million. The acquisition was funded primarily from borrowings under the $280.0 million credit facility. At July 3, 2005, total debt was $69.7 million, which includes $65.0 million drawn on available credit lines, as well as other debt and capital lease obligations. Cash and cash equivalents were $12.3 million at July 3, 2005. Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2005 were $4.1 million, compared with $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2004. Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2004.

(a) The company defines free cash flow as cash provided by
    operating activities (a measure prescribed by generally accepted
    accounting principles) less capital expenditures. Free cash flow
    provides supplemental information to assist management and the
    investment community in analyzing the company's ability to
    generate cash flow.
Pension

Pension expense for the second quarter of 2005 was $3.1 million, compared with pension expense of $2.2 million for the same period of 2004 in accordance with the pension accounting requirements of SFAS No. 87. Pension expense allocated to contracts pursuant to CAS was $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with no allocation in the second quarter of 2004. Under one of its spin-off agreements, after November 29, 2004, the company is able to charge pension costs to the U.S. Government under certain government contracts. Pension expense determined under CAS can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 was 37.7% compared with an effective tax rate of 39.6% for the second quarter of 2004.

Other

Corporate expense for the second quarter of 2005, compared with the second quarter of 2004, was impacted by higher compensation expense and greater professional fee expenses which include increased costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 compliance and auditing efforts. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2004 and reflected higher average outstanding debt levels.

Outlook

Based on its current outlook, the company's management believes that third quarter 2005 earnings per share will be in the range of approximately $0.36 to $0.38. The full year 2005 earnings per share outlook is expected to be in the range of approximately $1.67 to $1.71. The company's estimated effective income tax rate for 2005 is 37.6%.

The company's 2005 outlook reflects anticipated sales growth in defense electronics and instrumentation businesses, primarily due to the full-year effect of the company's 2004 acquisitions. The company's management also expects revenue in its Systems Engineering segment to have peaked in the first quarter of 2005, due in part to favorable timing on certain chemical weapons demilitarization programs and the company's systems engineering and technical assistance contract with the U.S. Army. In addition, revenues in the company's Energy Systems segment and its military turbine engine business are expected to be lower in the second half of 2005 compared with the second half of 2004.

The full year 2005 earnings outlook includes approximately $12.7 million ($0.23 per share) in pension expense under SFAS No. 87, or $3.4 million ($0.06 per share) in net pension expense after recovery of allowable pension costs from our CAS covered government contracts. Full year 2004 earnings included $8.7 million ($0.16 per share) in pension expense under SFAS No. 87, or $8.2 million ($0.15 per share) in net pension expense after recovery of allowable pension costs from our CAS covered government contracts. The decrease in pension expense reflects, in part, the ability to recover pension cost from the government in 2005, partially offset by increased pension liability due to a reduction in the discount rate assumption for the company's defined benefit plan. The company's assumed discount rate is 6.25% in 2005, compared with 6.5% in 2004.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R") that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123R must be adopted in the first quarter of 2006, however, early adoption is allowed. If the company had elected to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the third quarter of 2005, stock option expense was expected to have reduced pretax earnings by $2.6 million ($0.05 per share) in the second half of 2005. The company currently plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R in the first quarter of 2006. As a result, the current 2005 earnings per share outlook has been revised to exclude $0.05 per share in stock option expense.
